Dawn's sudden words plunged the entire scene into a deathly silence.
As the young master of the Li family, Li Ming was a rare good-for-nothing, the only trash among the ten great families.
Despite being considered trash, his position as young master was stable.
The primary reason for all of this was his ruthlessness, not only towards others but even more so towards himself. Some even said he should have been born into the Wu family and inherited the Wu family's underground empire.
"Scoundrel! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Han Qingshan shouted sternly, making it clear he had no intention of admitting to the matter. If he admitted to it, his own reputation would be ruined.
Even though he had retired, his influence remained, and he had many political rivals. They would definitely use these matters to their advantage, and once proven, he would face imprisonment. Even some settled matters could be brought to light again.
Political rivals are like that; as long as you are not completely finished, they will make sure you are, or you might just stage a comeback.
Li Ming, dressed in a sharp suit, swaggered out. He looked at Zhang Chunxiu without any hesitation and slapped her across the face. He sneered, "Grandfather, you did it, there's no need to hide it. With our strength, can't we suppress such a small matter?"
"Your daughter died because of me. What can you do to me? Huh? What can you do? Kill me? Do you have the ability? Or do you think you can make me pay a price in today's situation?"
After speaking, Li Ming kicked Zhang Chunxiu to the ground again. He looked down at her, the mockery in his eyes evident.
"I still remember how pitifully she looked at me, begging with her eyes. On her sickbed, when she begged me not to hurt her, her eyes were so pitiable. Unfortunately, if she didn't die, I would have to. And as the young master of the Li family, how could I die? So, your daughter had to die."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunxiu's eyes immediately turned red. She got up from the ground, grabbed a fruit knife, and lunged towards his heart.
However, a stick came down, brutally smashing her arm and breaking it.
"Ah!"
Zhang Chunxiu let out a scream, the fruit knife falling to the ground. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes red as she stared at him, like a thoroughly enraged beast.
Li Ming threw away the stick, clapped his hands, and said calmly, "I'll give you a chance to leave here, and I'll give you a million as compensation. If you don't like this choice, I can give you another: you'll be carried out, and your final destination will naturally be the crematorium."
A threat.
This was a naked threat.
The surrounding people's eyes showed playful smiles, filled with ridicule.
This matter was practically settled, and everyone knew it was true. Their lack of denial confirmed its veracity.
"Oh really? You did it and now you want to wipe out the whole family? I've witnessed the arrogance of the Li family."
A voice suddenly cut through the air. A group of people turned to see three figures approaching in a triangular formation.
Ye Longlin, hands in his pockets, walked in slowly. Upon seeing Zhang Chunxiu, his eyes held a cold glint.
Xuan Niao stepped forward to help her, while Xuan Wu surveyed the surroundings, not seeing Ye Wanqing.
"Ye Longlin!"
Han Qingshan, Ye Nantian, and Li Zhaoyuan's eyes narrowed simultaneously, a sense of vigilance instantly rising in their hearts.
They all knew one thing: wherever Ye Longlin appeared, it would never be peaceful!
Ye Longlin paid them no mind, his gaze fixed on Li Ming.
Li Ming was about 1.8 meters tall, not strong, but rather thin, looking as if he weighed no more than ninety jin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
"You're Li Ming?" Ye Longlin asked knowingly, then sat down next to them.
Li Ming stared at Ye Longlin with a dark expression, "Are you in league with this woman too? You've got guts, daring to cause trouble at my wedding. Are you looking to die? Or do you really think you can go up against us?"
"Li Ming, come back here!"
Han Qingshan said sternly.
Li Ming shot Ye Longlin a fierce glare before reluctantly returning to Han Qingshan's side.
He feared no one but Han Qingshan.
"Ye Longlin, do me a favor. Today is my grandson's joyous occasion. I hope you won't cause trouble. If you want to cause trouble, then none of us are to be trifled with."
Han Qingshan said coldly. None of them knew Ye Longlin's background or why he was here.
Ye Longlin nodded, "I don't want to resort to violence. I'm here for two people today."
Han Qingshan felt a sense of relief, "Those two people, as long as they are not important, I can hand them over to you now."
On a joyous occasion, conflict was not ideal, and Han Qingshan only wanted to resolve the matter quickly. Li Ming's sudden confession had plunged him into an abyss.
If not handled properly, he himself would be finished.
"Li Ming, Ye Wanqing."
As soon as these two names were uttered, Han Qingshan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table!
"Ye Longlin, are you deliberately picking a fight? You know full well today is my grandson's wedding, and you come asking for them right away. You're not putting us in your eyes!"
Li Zhaoyuan spoke up, "Ye Longlin, do you really think you're still that Heavenly King? Do you really think you have the ability to be so arrogant here?"
Ye Nantian: "Ye Longlin, if I recall correctly, you and Ye Wanqing don't seem to have any connection. Why do you want Ye Wanqing... for?"
Ye Longlin glanced at them, lit a cigarette, and explained, "First, Li Ming, to save his own life, killed Zhang Yingying. A life for a life, and today, I've come to kill him. As for Ye Wanqing, she is the woman of my brother. Ye Nantian, for your own political marriage, you sacrifice others. Heh, why don't you sacrifice Ye Qingxin instead?"
His words revealed his intentions.
Many people, upon hearing Ye Longlin's words, realized that today's matter could absolutely not be let go.
After speaking, Ye Longlin snapped his fingers. In the blink of an eye, Li Ming appeared before Ye Longlin. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his head. By the time he came to his senses, he had fallen to the ground, his head pinned under Ye Longlin's foot.
"If you want to kill him, you can do it now."
